Robberies over the last 12 months are down 14% compared to the annual average over the last three years, according to the latest data available from the Cary Police Department.

The city averaged about 1 robberies a month over the last 12 months. In 2019, that number was about 3 a month.

Robbery is generally defined by police as taking something of value from someone by force or threatening force. So while someone taking a smartphone from someone’s bag would be theft, taking it while pointing a firearm at the person would be robbery.
